I know that sign is there because someone tried to do this, but I can’t imagine what had to happen for someone to walk face first into their own reflection lol
I wonder if it mostly happens when people are looking down at their phones. There is a pole on my campus that I have seen multiple people walk into while texting. Then again, my cat has been trying to fight her doppelganger in the mirror for years now and she’s smarter than a few people I know.
I kinda doubt that since this is a store. I doubt you’d be on your phone while trying to pick some shoes. It probably happened due to the angle of the mirror, as its in a corner on certain angles you wouldn’t see your reflection until the last second. If you are a fast walker it may be impossible to stop your momentum until its too late.
I wonder, aside from other potential explanations, if our brain recognizes it’s us and momentarily ignores it. Delaying the recognition and connection just a little too long.
ngl sometimes i assume it’s another person coming at me and only realise that it’s a mirror when i’m on the imminent crash course with the other me
Vampires be like
My dumb ass was staring at the picture for like 30 seconds asking myself “what mirror?”
I see the quotation marks … so it’s not actually a mirror?
Nah m8, you ever play Mario 64?
“no”
I’m so sorry for your loss…
One of the few subs I miss is /r/SuspiciousQuotes. Anyone know of any Lemmy equivalent?

Don’t let them fool us, there’s alternate reality behind that mirror.
Yeah but it’s an even worse timeline than the one we’re already saddled with.
Or it could be the timeline where Harambe survived
Mirrors are a conspiracy.
They think they can hide the shadow realm from us!!
Mirrors are the best reflection. Everybody says so.
It’s a trick to keep you trapped. You are already in the mirror, you’ve been here for a long time. Run! Escape!!
You do and suddenly wake up the Mario N64 music.
